I've been working on my computer for so long that Indy decided to come upstairs to see what I was up to. I think she's looking for some attention...
Using PartitionMagic 8.02 to copy partitions from my old drive to the new drive. Still haven't applied maintenance on XP, though I am actually excited about how much of my hardware it found correctly.
This is going to take forever. I'm changing the partitions from FAT32 to NTFS (which I should have done a long time ago) and it just takes time to do all of this. I'm still trying to fugure out how I'm going to find all of my software that I had installed, not to mention the praying that I'm going to have to do to make sure that it'll all run in XP without required upgrades.
I hate Microsoft with every fiber of my being...
I've got XP Professional installed... no service packs, yet. I want to make sure that the devices are all intact first...
Well, the reinstall has begun. I couldn't get the original environment to boot-up with a decent environment. I lost a lot of drivers and software. I didn't have any network drivers or display drivers, so I decided to bite the bullet and reinstall the OS... but on a new hard drive. That way, I can get at my old data and start to piece together my life.
Yech.
